The black box

The question I have been trying to answer lately:

Could I sell this type of desktop virtualization system as a product to public access sites?

The idea is to sell a "black box". The customer would get a very small server that is ready to plug into their network and start running virtual machines.

This has a couple of advantages. It does not require us to go on site to set the system up. However, we can still login to the server remotely and setup or fix anything the customer needs. We can still have complete control (if the customer chooses). The customer gets full documentation on how to add computers, modify settings, and maintain the system.

I think the key to this is allow the customer to have a much better idea of the costs of this type of system. They pay the base price for the server and initial setup. We could then provide a service plan after to provide tech support and maintenance.

This system would also allow for a lot of expandability. Extra servers could easily be added to provide more capacity or redundancy.

My goal right now is to build a prototype. Goals of the prototype:
-Capacity for 20 windows machines each sever (plus more with Linux Terminal Server Project).
-Build it very small. I want to go small form factor to reduce shipping costs, environmental impact, and avoid adding huge server setups to public access sites.
-Build it cheap, but reliable. It has to be inexpensive, but still have enough redundancy and stability.

I want to be able to price the server and setup and one year of tech support for a reasonable price. What I need now is feedback from public access sites that might be interested in such a system to find if this would work for them.
